Re: Endoscopy/Colonoscopy / Mimi

[Guest guest]

Mimi:

I noticed on the website you posted, the link to Oxalates and SCD, does

mention nuts are very high in oxalates, which can trigger inflammation which

equals bacteria and yeast in our kids. I'm confused because one article on that

website states nuts are good for you, but then I click on the other article

which states the nuts are high in oxalates, and high oxalates foods lead to

inflammation. Our GI doc told us nuts are very hard to digest and wants us to

change his diet to eliminate nuts, he said maybe Pumpkin seed flour? We did

another scope on our son in April and after 3 years on SCD he still has

inflammation of the stomach lining. So I'm really concerned about all the nuts

I'm feeding (cookies, pancakes, pizza). Can you please clarify what I'm

hearing/reading regarding nuts.

Thanks

Jeanne

Hi Susie,

We have had several parents on this list whose children did well with

SCD despite the fast that they did not display

the usual symptoms of digestive distress.

Bacterial toxins can impair the GI tract but sometimes they do not do

injury to the digestive system but do damage to other parts of the body.

How LPS, a bacterial toxin affects the symptoms of autism

http://microbialinfluence.com/Vegan2/vegan.html

" Scientists from all over the world have found that bacterial toxins,

especially LPS, play a central role in diseases of inflammation. Most

chronic diseases of affluence are diseases of inflammation and they

include diabetes, heart disease, arthritis and even certain forms of

cancer. "

Do continue SCD!! it is the best diet for controlling all the damage

from bacterial toxins.

Hi, Jeanne,

Mimi is not able to be on the list very often anymore. I will try to

explain.

Nuts are something we don't recommend at the beginning of the diet, but

only after some healing has occurred. If you consume yogurt along with

nuts and other high oxalate foods, then the probiotic in the yogurt

enables the body to get rid of the oxalates. Probiotics in capsules

would help, too. Do not make nuts too big a part of your diet.

I would not advise substituting with pumpkin seed flour. Seeds

themselves are advanced; they have a very fibrous coating. Any seed

flour would be extremely advanced because of the quantity you would use.
